But if it's going to be used on screen and at such a small resolution, no-ones going to notice how nice it looks as it'll be tiny.

Yes, because that's the only place the logo is used.

You know what I mean. The majority of the time it will ever be seen it on a TV screen in a small box in the corner.

Gone down badly considering the accompanying video has an almost completely male presentation slate.

Really might fix that?

Isn't that the same font Digital Spy went with, or something very similar?

Digital Spy uses the font Poppins, Discovery uses a font called Circular.

It was designed by font foundry Lineto and it's the font used by Spotify (though theirs is a custom version)

The D with globe will probably be used as their DOG

Sadly not an April Fools, as it's appearing on their American Twitter account.

This obsession with flat design* has gone too far. How can that ugly 2D rendering of the Earth be considered anywhere near as nice as a full colour CG rendering?

*insert flat Earth joke here


It actually reminds me a little of their very first logo (the SVG file is a bit big - apologies):

I suspect the UK will launch it at the same time?

The new Discovery logo and look has debuted in Italy, not sure about other EMEA areas

The EMEA implementation looks rather slick
